In the latest Staff Survey (2021), 73.7% of our workforce told us they are enthusiastic about their job, and 69.7% of colleagues told us they recommend Chesterfield Royal Hospital FT as a place to work – 11.3% higher than the national acute Trust median score.

Our ‘Together as One’ strategy focuses on exceptional patient care delivered by exceptional people, and supports our people, communities and partners working together to provide patient care we can all be proud of. We are working closely with our partners through Joined Up Care Derbyshire, Integrated Care System, which brings together health and social care organisations across Derbyshire with the ambition to provide the best care and services for people and make them as efficient and effective as possible.
